    When you find out that an ex (who you are "over") is seeing someone new... that anxious feeling it gives you in your stomach, even though it's been a few years and even though you're meant to be over them! Wtf is that about?!

    Sucks doesn't it? :( got to the ripe ole age of 25 without getting so much as a dent in my heart of stone but it's horrible to think of someone you loved be with and do "your" things with someone else.

    I'm sure whoever the new one is, is a bitch anyway.

    Walking through Galway this evening after work only to be shoulder charged by 3 separate young runts in a cheap ass River Island suits with pieces of sh1t watches & even cheaper shoes with a pints on them.....remember 'After Hours' today was Ladies Day in Galway during the Galway races.

    Well done sham; every one is a hard man with a few pints on them..., I'd knock their teeth in a sling and stuff their nose bones down their hole if I was bothered!

    When your stupid mains connected smoke alarm starts beeping at 5 in the morning.
    When you haven't a clue why because it's got electricity going to it, so start panicking and checking sockets and the rest.
    So you're there, half naked running around sniffing every room, with this thing beeping.
    Stupified because you were in a deep sleep, Panicking because it's so loud and you're alone, and it's probably after waking the neighbours.
    Googling like a lunatic, and there's my answer.
    Why the fcuk is there a battery in my stupid, mains alarm and why the fcuk does it start to go at 5 in the stupid morning?
    Then you tear the knuckle off yourself trying to open it!

    ****ing buses, why do you have to take so long!? Probably going to be late again because they take so long to get there and are so infrequent.

    Also this discrimination ****e when it comes to the politics and science in this country. It's incredibly stupid and very discriminatory to offer grants and incentives to get one group of people to do something. Ireland, y u so retarded

    When people say, "it's not the end of the world" - well of course it's not the end of the fúcking world, but of what relevance is that?? There are terrible things that happen - familes wiped out in plane crashes, children get abducted and killed, houses burn down etc - none of these are the end of the world but that doesn't make them ok. If you're going to use the anhiliation of the human race as your barometer for whether or not something really cuts it as a tragedy - then everything is a fúcking walk in the park, isn't it :(

    Happy Friday :)

    This happened to me before. After about two hours I started to lose my mind completely. I took a break knife, stuck it in between the alarm and the ceiling, then hit it with an ice-cream scoop a few times.

    The noise stopped.

    Battery backup in case of electrical failure, and your battery is running low, we have 'em here too, mystified me for weeks where that stupid *bip* was coming from every so often during the night.

    It was because I wasn't there during the day to hear it :o

    I dunno. I say this quite a bit when something trivial happens. And I've had my family pretty much wiped out so from my point of view that was the end of my world as I knew it. Losing my sunglasses when I was on holidays though, was annoying, they were really nice prada sunglasses, but it's not the end of the world in any way shape or form. It's nice to have perspective at times.

    Smoke Alarms -> When I first moved into my place, it was a new house in a new estate and there were lots of empty houses around me.
    Good jaysus, one day, the batteries started to die in the alarms in the surrounding houses. Then more and more started going. What made it worse was the echo of the beep around the empty houses. So there would be a sequence of beeps and the resonance of the echos, then a small gap, then it starts again.
    Funnily enough, I 'forgot' about it, or my brain blanked it out and stopped hearing it after a while.

    Gawd damn posters closing their accounts. I hope he's not mad at me for turning down the boxer short shopping request. :(

    So thankful those type of ads are not allowed here. By guidelines set down by the Law Society you can't even have a photo of someone in a neck brace, or similar, on your firm's website because it is seen as promoting claims culture.

    I know perspective is alright in healthy doses, but my point is, everyone's tragedy is unique to them depending on their perspective. This thing of "there's always someone worse off than you" doesn't actually help them. There is always somebody worse off than most people, but unless you think guilt will shake them out of whatever they are going through or that they'll get some weird sense of satisfaction knowing someone else is suffering more, I dont really see what it achieves.

    When an ex contacts you out of the blue to tell you they're engaged in a braggy, sorry to disappoint you way :confused: Okay.... I broke up with you 6 years ago and I got married last year.... :confused: Am I supposed to be sad?
    Very odd.

    Bumped into an ex-colleague yesterday. Had a quick chat and as we were leaving, she grabbed my arm, pulled me back and said 'You're never going to believe what happened'. I immediately thought there must be some recent development in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis or maybe Putin had been assasinated or Enda Kenny had come out as a transvestite, you know something with a bit of substance that necessitated her calling me back as I tried to flee the scene of our awkward chat, but obviously as I am posting here it was none of these things and instead ranked high on both the WTF meter and the triviality meter.

    Ex-colleague has one daughter and for a number of reasons, which she is very open about, she won't be having any more kids. She explained that her sister had recently had a baby boy and the name she had called him was the name that ex-colleague would have called a boy if she had had one. She was seething that her sister had given her son 'her boy's name' and she refused to talk to her for a few days until their mother intervened and hopefully gave the sad bint a good clatter around the head for reserving names for children she will never have and having issues with a family member for 'taking' the name from her.

    Did you ever in all your life.........?!

    Ah yeh, depends on how it's being used, certainly. Like I said, I would use it often for trivial things. I wouldn't use it for serious matters of course.

    Although "there's always someone worse off" actually got me through a lot but not everyone is the same at dealing with things :)
